Ron Paul, the former Republican representative who ran for president three times, was hospitalized on Friday in Texas for "precautionary" reasons, Fox News has learned. "I am doing fine," Paul said in a later statement posted to his Twitter, along with an image of him in a hospital bed. His son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, did not immediately respond to a Fox News' request for comment. Paul, a leader of the nation's libertarian movement, retired from Congress in February 2013, although he continued to remain active in politics. "Praying for former congressman and presidential candidate @RonPaul who has been hospitalized," Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., tweeted.
